Halstead Nursery is a very popular and friendly pre-school that has been running since 1963. Our approach is to help children learn through playing and doing, at their own pace, in a happy setting with experienced and dedicated staff.

We welcome children from 2 years old and are also equipped to offer places to children with special needs. We help prepare older children for full-time schooling in accordance with the Government's Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. Government funding is available for 3 & 4 year olds.

We are based within the grounds of Halstead CP School and in September 2011 we moved into a brand new classroom. We now have our own garden space and also enjoy access to other school facilities including the field, school hall and outdoor adventure playground.

Halstead Nursery is in the catchment area for the villages of Halstead, Knockholt and Badgers Mount, although we often attract children from further afield too!

The nursery is managed by a committee of parents and friends who are responsible for employing staff, fundraising and generally administering the business of the nursery.

We look forward to welcoming you soon!
